Telltale's Minecraft: Story Mode gets star-studded first trailer

Block party

This weekend, we got our first look at Minecraft: Story Mode - the episodic adventure game, from The Walking Dead developer Telltale Games.

Despite the name, this isn't a new mode for Minecraft proper. Instead, it's a standalone, narrative-focused game with a cast of characters and all the usual choices and moral decisions you'd expect from a Telltale game.

The big surprise is the cast list, which is filled with recognisable names from games, movies, and TV.

The game is all about Jesse and his friends who are infatuated with a group of four adventurers who slayed an Ender Dragon. But when this Order of the Stone goes missing, Jesse and pals set out to find them.
